I have a range slider in my compose app that stretches edge to edge horizontally but accessing the thumbs near the edges triggers the system back navigation gesture. How can I disable the system back gesture only for the range slider's thumb region on the edges?
I could find solutions like below when using view but none for compose.

Is this not available for Jetpack Compose yet? Or am I missing something?
You can use Modifier.systemGestureExclusion()
to exclude a layout's rectangle from system gestures. Docs
There is also a version that will pass you in the measured rect of the parent layout. You could do something like
Box(
modifier = Modifier.systemGestureExclusion { layoutCoords ->
Rect(x = 0, y = 0, width = 10.dp, height = layoutCoords.size.height)
}
) { ... }
to exclude the left 10pts of a Box.
